2014山地世锦赛XCO之战:Absalon五夺彩虹衫

一年一度的山地世锦赛在9月6日迎来了重头戏——XCO组别的激烈竞逐。顶级车手们此刻无不处于顶级状态,准备为2014赛季画上完美收官一笔。在这场不成功便成仁的赛事前夕,男子组大热门无疑是不久前才在世界杯上一站Meribel夺冠的Shurter,以及爬坡悍将Absalon。Absalon选择在此役骑乘全避震车,又给看客们多添了一份联想。

相比起男子组的两强之争,女子组形势则没有这么明朗——世界杯冠军Jolanda Neff继上一次在U23世锦赛获胜后已经连续三年缺席,而本土女车王Gunn-Rita本赛季至今仅拿下数次第二。但整体来说,本届世锦赛女子组较为开放,数位选手都有争夺彩虹衫的实力,其中以强劲爬坡著称的Catherine Pendrel跟Absalon一样也选择了全避震车,看上去充满了问鼎决心。

中国选手的最好成绩是女将史庆兰取得的第22名;山地女王任成远在67位参赛选手中排第66位出发,并于中途车胎坏掉的情况下以第33名艰难完赛。唯一的中国男选手王祯则拿下第65名。
